Cloud computing technology has experienced exponential growth over the past few years. Itprovides many advantages for both individuals and organizations. However, at the same time,many issues have arisen due to the vast growth of cloud computing. Organizations often haveconcerns about the migration and utilization of cloud computing due to the loss of control overtheir outsourced resources and cloud computing is vulnerable to risks. Thus, a cloud providerneeds to manage the cloud computing environment risks in order to identify, assess, andprioritize the risks in order to decrease those risks, improve security, increase confidence incloud services, and relieve organizations’ concerns on the issue of using a cloud environment.Considering that a conventional risk management framework does not fit well with cloudcomputing due to the complexity of its environment, research in this area has becomewidespread. The aim of this paper is to review the previously proposed risk managementframeworks for cloud computing and to make a comparison between them in order to determinethe strengths and weaknesses of each of them. The review will consider the extent of theinvolvement and participation of consumers in cloud computing and other issues.
